just so every one knows i'm not trying to get spoon feed information. Just cant find a answer any where. Last time i went to the drag strip i heard a couple people saying that rotary engines can red line for a while before hurting the engine. So i'm wondering for racing, if you burn out for example and stay at 9000 rpm are you hurting your engine by keeping it at those rpm's? or is it better to shift and lose some power. Thanks for any answers just cant find out about this.

 

Subbed... Because I'm curious too....

Post #42 someone says about that. its only one person so who know for sure if he knows what hes talking about. But regardless its a very informative thread to read.

Edit found this one too. Post #13. Rotarygod knows what hes talking about Id trust his judgement. He wrote the book about rotary engines. Literally. https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...hlight=redline

 

thanks for that thread just what ive been looking for. so in short for any one who is still reading this one. Redlining in you'r Rx-8 HELPS the engine and you really cant over rev a rotary. At least that's what i got from it. Good cheers.

 

Glad that you were shown the information you were asking about.

....had it been a weekday you would have been .

 

Racing is probably the wrong section for this....

Moved.

Never redlined my engine...i should start doing it to boost the engine.

 

oh boy.

 

 

you make no sense at all. how in the hell does redlining your car have anything to do with boosting it.

 

you can overrev a Rotary Engine, but before you overrev it the Flywheel will disintegrate and kill you first, that's all.

and seriously? you can't find with Search? if you are that retarded then MAYBE you should get another car, Rotary is NOT for you.

He didn't write that book dude ...

 

UM no he did not. And IIRC, he has also never owned a Renesis either.

 

huh?

 

Nice first post derp.

 

haha seriously so informative.

 

I remember seeing somewhere around here about a book explaining rotary engines that he was credited in. Perhaps I'm mistaken.
